Brad Dourif

Since the last post tied in with The Exorcist I decided to go with something somewhat related. Brad Dourif, known by many as the voice of Chucky from the Child's Play series and who has appeared in many movies over the years, including Lord of the Rings, also appeared in Exorcist III. So there ya go!

Who could forget his role in Dune?

Or the other movie he did with a couple of his Dune buddies, where he got to play with a knife, just like sweet little Chucky did a few years later. Yeah, I'm talking about Blue Velvet...

My favorite Brad Dourif movie, though, has to be One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

However, playing with sharp objects in that one had a nasty result for him.

In person Brad was a pretty nice guy, unlike some of the villains and sociopaths he played on the big screen. Here we are in Plano, Texas nearly ten years ago:
